Jean Esther Tome Reid Goldsborough
1910–1993
Work Together
Mrs. E. Lee Goldsborough, Jr., thinks "it's the wildest thing I've ever heard of the way people around here work together in community activities."
Mrs. Goldsborough, who lives at 9 Narbrook Park, said, "the town is so community-minded that everybody works for everything that is needed.
It's amazing the way people work together for the school and scouts," said Mrs. Goldsborough, wife of a Drexel English professor and mother of two children.
"Another thing about Narberth is that it's terrifically convenient to Drexel", she said.
"That's one reason why we moved here." She has lived in Narberth for 14 years.
